On this, our saddest day since 9/11/01, I hear in my head a mournful dirge, as two and a quarter centuries of the most brilliant exercise in self-government has been tossed in the toilet by people who are looking for their “fair share” of what others have created. The experiment is over. R.I.P. America.

OK, we’ll play one funeral dirge for America, and then we start resisting these f***ers. Question everything, DARE to write the WH directly and criticize. DON’T surrender to him. And REFUSE to give one f***ing red cent to the RNC.

REPUDIATION.

I was hoping for a dirge for liberal monstrosities and repudiation of a usurper who merely votes “present” when confronted with situations from Benghazi to Sandy’s aftermath.

Dirge

A funeral song sounds about right. The deceased got six feet of dirge dumped on him. We tried to get the swans to sing a swan song for the poor guy but they put up a real flap.

Dirge: How appropriate for WFTD. I cannot bear to tune into the news. My husband just learned that Wisconsin is sending Tammy Baldwin to the US Senate. His screams of anguish were no dirge — more a battle cry.

Two notes: Yesterday when I was sorking at the polls, a 60ish voter came in about 2 pm. As he signed the poll book, he looked at us and announced, “It’s all settled. The stock market is diving. It’s all status quo for the next 4 years.”

My co-worker and I looked at each other open-mouthed. Then she said, “It’s just like the media. they can say anything they want. Pay no attention.”

But that was the first harbinger of doom.

Then my husband stopped by at about 8:15 PM, 15 minutes after the polls closed. He said “Fox News Channel has vcalled the Wisconsin for Obama.”

“How is that possible,” I responded. “We still have 900 absentee ballots to count. I’ll be home very late. Go to the Victory Party by yourself.”

“I’m not going,” he said. “FNC called Wisconsin with only 1% of the vote in. What is going on?”

FWIW — The poll where I worked turned out 80% voter participation and the vote for Romney and Tommy Thompson was 3 to 1. We had 2400 registered voters already on the books. We registered another 110 on election day. Romeny and Thompson each got more than 2000 votes at the end of the night. Both the Touch Screen and the Optical Scanner registered the same portions — 3 to 1 Romney. I have no doubt that the poll where I vote was the same, or even better totals for Romney.

We had 3 poll watchers fro the Romney campaign who stayed 14 hours at my poll, taking names and caling them in. I had to admire their tenacity. Hopefully they’ll use that info to build a stronger campaign in the future.

It’s simple: we need a better electorate.

Unless we can counteract the media, we will always lose to the uninformed who vote based on myth.

Democrats lie about their actions and intentions and the media covers for them.

The path forward is twofold: infiltrate and transform the media in the long term. Us living in a conservative news bubble does nothing for the real “low information” voter.

In the short term, we need to have the GOP stand down. The people want Obama in charge we need to give them the consequences.

Let the dirge for the America we knew begin!



Sean McCarteny at Fire Base Spin, Spin Buldak, Afghanistan

Playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes, as his forefathers did.

Then prepare for battle!

NO.

This country was born from a war aganst the greatest military power on earth....

THen We fought the War of 1812.

We Survuved 4 terms of an outright Communist sympathizer.

We Won two World Wars.

We Fought our way out of the Frozen Chosin in Korea.

We survived a war we were winning that the fifth column subverted, thanks Mr Cronkite,I hope it’s warm down there.

We Defeated the USSR, in a thirty year struggle.

This country can suvive a two term commie lighweight.

It is always darkest before the Dawn.

The problem is running people that fight Marquis of Queensbury against Hells angels.

While I’m pissed at the Fat Man for giving the most Partisan jackoff ever the imprimatur or Presidentiality and non partisanship....

Pray that fat f**k runs in 2016.

Based on the whistling-past-the-graveyard mentality of so many people, I have to say let them suffer the consequences of their folly. The rest of us will just have to suck it up and do the best we can-if the old native american prophecies are right, it is a moot point anyway.

Personally, I don’t see why we don’t just split the blanket into two countries, for awhile-let the dumbasses live with their socialist vision without bringing sensible people down any more-reunite when the useful idiots grow the cojones to be free (again).

Now that the dirge has been sung
And the new Roman mob rejoices
Gorging on bread and circuses,
Thus rewarded for their choices

With all the koolaid they can drink
And promises of taxpayer money-
When it runs out in a year or two
They’ll be out of milk and honey

It isn’t likely that we who work hard
Will help the greedy takers at all
Revenge is a dish best served cold-
We’ll be satisfied when they fall...
